Good to hear you're having a positive experience. Keep us posted on your thoughts and comparisons.

BTW, the next version of OmniOutliner is slated to bring in many of the features developed for OmniFocus/OmniPlan: hiding columns, custom column sets for different rows/sections, view filtering, etc. It's not due for a while though.

Chris,

I am now busy setting up my new Mac Pro, and I agree wholehearted with your
preference for Things over OmniFocus as a GTD/To Do manager. Omni is an excellent
company, and I'm using OmniOutliner to help keep track of the process of installing
new software and moving decades of information from Windows to OS X. But I am more
comfortable with the flexibility of Things than the more set structure of
OmniFocus.

And Scrivener seems wonderful for a similar reason. As a writing
program I love its ability to flexibly structure a developing work and store random
thoughts and information.
